"What? They're all dead?"
Lei Qianjun stood up abruptly, glaring furiously at Lei Zhengtang!
"Bastard, wasn't Ling Feng not at the villa? Why did so many experts go and they still died?"
Lei Zhengtang retreated in terror, wanting to know the answer but not knowing anything!
"Second Uncle, I, I don't know why this happened. I checked two minutes ago, and everyone was fine then!"
"Two minutes, just two minutes, and so many experts are dead? There must be something strange, there must be something strange in the villa!"
Lei Qianjun muttered, pacing back and forth, and finally understood one thing.
That was, he, Lei Qianjun, had completely underestimated Ling Feng!
Thump, thump, thump!
Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached.
Before the two could react, someone stumbled and rushed into the reception hall!
"Bastard, what's the matter, rushing around like this!" Lei Zhengtang turned and cursed at the newcomer.
With all their plans foiled, how could he not be angry!
"Patriarch, no, it's not good! Five of our eight halls have been destroyed! And more than half of the experts recruited by our Wuhu Group have been crippled!"
"What?"
Lei Zhengtang exclaimed, almost jumping up, "Say that again!"
"I... most of the experts we recruited have been... crippled!" the man said, full of fear.
Hearing this, Lei Zhengtang's legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
The Wuhu Group hadn't suffered such heavy losses even at Ling Yan's funeral a few days ago!
Losing more than half of their strength at once was unbearable for anyone!
"When did this happen? Who did it?" Lei Zhengtang asked, trembling.
"Just... just a while ago, and only one person made the move..." the man said tremblingly. Looking at Lei Zhengtang's almost ravenous gaze, he hesitated to say the rest.
"Speak quickly, who is it!" Lei Zhengtang roared, his voice trembling.
"It's... it's that Yang Fei, who is with Ling Feng!"
"Bastard, how is this possible? How could he be so powerful?"
Lei Zhengtang's eyes were bloodshot, filled with astonishment and confusion.
"I... I don't know. I only heard that our martial arts Grandmasters couldn't even withstand a single move from him, and were all instantly killed!"
"Couldn't withstand a single move?"
Lei Zhengtang felt his eyelids twitch wildly, his face ashen.
"Patriarch, if this continues, our halls will be cleaned out. Without martial arts experts, then..." the man said in panic, almost crying.
"Nonsense, do I need you to tell me that!" Lei Zhengtang said angrily.
The Wuhu Group's military strength had always been incredibly strong, enough to suppress the entire Han River.
The previous setback was also because Ling Feng had invited the Governor of Jiangbei, the Six-Star General Sun Zhange.
But this time, Ling Feng's side did not have the support of the war zone, and the Wuhu Group had the assistance of Lei Qianjun, with even stronger experts. But why did they still fail?
And why did they fail so completely?
This was something Lei Zhengtang couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried. Where did things go wrong?
"What are you panicking about!" Lei Qianjun suddenly rebuked.
Lei Zhengtang took a deep breath and bowed to Lei Qianjun, "I apologize, Second Uncle! It seems I underestimated the martial arts strength on Ling Feng's side!"
Hearing that all his previous deployments had failed, Lei Qianjun's heart was also in turmoil. But as someone who had held high positions for a long time, he quickly calmed his mind.
"It was I who underestimated Ling Feng's martial arts strength this time. The Six Ghosts of South China were considered formidable figures, and they were all killed by him. It seems that ordinary Hua Jin Grandmasters cannot contend with him!"
Lei Qianjun paced back and forth, his face ashen.
Lei Zhengtang followed closely behind Lei Qianjun and asked nervously, "Second Uncle, what should we do now?"
"Military suppression is temporarily out of the question, unless Master Zhanlong personally intervenes!" Lei Qianjun said thoughtfully.
Lei Zhengtang suddenly froze, "Master Zhanlong? Who is that..."
Lei Qianjun revealed a look of arrogance, his eyes sharp as knives. He gazed into the southwest and slowly said, "Master Zhanlong has been cultivating in seclusion on Wolong Island overseas for a long time. He is a peerless figure in the martial arts world!"
"Some even speculate that Master Zhanlong has broken through the limits of a martial arts Grandmaster and can be considered an Earthly Immortal. Within Great China, there are only a handful of people who can contend with him!"
"Earthly, Earthly Immortal? Are there really such legendary existences?" Lei Zhengtang was shocked beyond measure.
"Heh heh, even if he hasn't reached the legendary realm of Earthly Immortal, Master Zhanlong is still a peerless figure in the martial arts world!" Lei Zhengtang snorted lightly.
Lei Zhengtang nodded repeatedly.
"Unfortunately, Master Zhanlong is still in seclusion, so we cannot use military force for the time being!" Lei Qianjun concluded, dismissing the possibility of using military force at the moment.
Lei Zhengtang nodded subconsciously and was about to ask about the next course of action.
Lei Haoxuan, who had been listening from the position of a junior, suddenly bowed to Lei Qianjun and said, "Second Granduncle, since military elimination is not feasible, we should launch a commercial attack now!"
Lei Qianjun glanced at Lei Haoxuan and smiled, nodding, "Very good, Haoxuan, speak your mind boldly."
Lei Haoxuan heard the encouragement in Lei Qianjun's words, and his eyes shone brightly.
Finally, his chance to act had arrived!
"Yes!"
Lei Haoxuan bowed slightly and said humbly, "Second Granduncle, I graduated from the Finance department of the German Capital Academy. After returning, I have researched the stock market of our Hanjiang City."
"Hmm, not bad!"
Lei Qianjun nodded slightly.
Lei Haoxuan continued, "As far as I know, Lingtian Group has two listed companies. Due to the development of the Baiyanshan project, the stock prices of these two companies have been continuously rising, which has also provided some financial support to Lingtian Group."
Lei Haoxuan paused slightly, and Lei Zhengtang on the side interjected, "That's right, Lingtian Group's cash flow is currently around 13 billion."
Hearing this, Lei Haoxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Patriarch, I don't have the authority to know such confidential information yet."
This made Lei Zhengtang pause, but Lei Qianjun understood Lei Haoxuan's meaning. He immediately instructed Lei Zhengtang sternly, "Since you plan to cultivate Haoxuan as the successor in the future, let him do it freely."
"Yes, nephew understands!"
Lei Zhengtang quickly responded respectfully, and his gaze towards Lei Haoxuan changed slightly.
Clearly, Lei Zhengtang had not realized before that Lei Haoxuan had such great ambition.
"Haoxuan, continue with your thoughts," Lei Qianjun said again.
"Yes, Second Granduncle, I plan to engage in a financial war with Lingtian Group to completely cripple Lingtian Group's cash flow!"
Lei Haoxuan spoke directly, his aura sharp and aggressive.
After speaking, Lei Haoxuan walked up to Lei Qianjun with a tablet and said, "Second Granduncle, this is my first step of the plan!"
When Lei Qianjun looked, the screen of the tablet displayed the blueprint of the Baiyanshan project, with various texts marked on it.
"Stock price increase"
"Public support"
"Economic growth point..."
All these words were crossed out with a big red cross. Finally, Lei Qianjun's gaze settled on a line of text.
"Inciting public opinion? Dragging down Lingtian Group? Haoxuan, how will this specific plan be implemented?"
